A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Demonstrations in Tehran's Grand Bazaar with the slogan "Freedom, freedom, freedom." After Khamenei's warning, bazaars again took to the streets on January 6th, this time shouting "freedom" on a larger scale. @chadbourn.bsky.social @atrupar.com

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Reports suggest a low-cost drone, possibly operated by a civilian, prompted multiple jet takeoffs and the expenditure of hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Iranian protester Saghar Etemadi , 22, has just died in hospital, two days after being shot by the Islamist regime during protests in Farsan, Bakhtiari province.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro. But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

"We're in the oil business" - Trump

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Since the Idiot-in-Chief keeps posting photos of dead birds under wind turbines, here's a picture from a Globe and Mail article about birds dying in oil sands tailing ponds 30 times more than estimated.

Oil brings us climate change and illegal invasions of sovereign nations.

This is why I've been an enemy of fossil fuels for decades - almost every modern war was fought over them. The saddest part? We don't actually need them. More efficient, cleaner, cheaper alternatives have existed for a long time. But fossil lobbies are very good at holding politicians hostage.

Update: President Trump said the U.S. will run Venezuela until a "proper transition can take place," as he defended Saturday's military strikes that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.

It's times like this the only thing I miss from twitter is that screaming gif that I liked to use when words fail and your mere existence on planet earth makes you just want to stand outside and scream into the air because you feel helplessangryunheardsadscared and on the precipice of nihilism.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

Hello everyone some of you may have heard the news. Yes, Venezuela has been bombed. For the time being, it has been confirmed that only military bases, airports, and government related facilities had been struck. I'm safe for now, scared but safe. Will keep you guys updated as to how things go.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Good morning. #BanFossilFuels

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:
